Photographer's Note

Every year the Botanical Gardens of Montreal have a Chinese lanterns exhibition with a different theme each time. This year's theme was birds since we are now in the Year of the Rooster. The atmosphere in the Chinese garden is very magical for young and older kids and romantic for young couples. This event usually coincides with the mid-autumn festival celebrated by the Chinese community.

Since I did not have a tripod with me, I placed my camera on a low wall to stabilize it.

Excellent picture of the lanterns, it's really a beautiful place to take picture. I like the sharpness of your picture and the quality of the lighting with the excellent reflections. It's a different view from my pictures of the lanterns that I have posted here and on Treklens, and i like this approach. Very good phot.
